David Knowles DAVID KNOWLES The Ecclesiastical History Society was founded in 1961 by the initiative and inspiration of Clifford Dugmore; and it was Professor Dugmore who invited David Knowles to lecture to the opening meet­ ing, and proposed his name for election as first President. To their friendship the Society owes much. Already in 1950 they were asso­ ciated in the Journal of Ecclesiastical History, and David Knowles remained a member of the Advisory Committee (from 1966 the Advisory Editorial Board) until his death. His first lecture to the Society was on 'The Medieval Archbishops of York';1 and his Presidential (1962) was a very characteristic critical survey in his best manner on 'Some recent work on early Benedictine history'.2 In our early conferences he was a familiar figure, an image of spiritual friend­ ship and scholarly aspiration to inspire his colleagues; we saw in him one of the great ecclesiastical historians of his day, and our friend. The outline of his life is familiar to readers of W. A. Pantin's appre­ ciation in The Historian and Character and other Essays (Cambridge 1963); and he himself described his formation as a historian in his lecture on 'Academic History'.3 'At school I was never, either in fact or in desire, an historian. I was a classic, and in my school days the only spell that bound me was that of great literature.' He went on to describe how he passed on from the classics and English poetry to the great works of literary history: Macaulay, Gibbon, Grote, Clarendon and many others. He joined the Downside community in 1914, but it was only in the late 1920s that he became a monastic historian. His first book, The American Civil War, was published in 1926. 'My inspiration came, at an infinite distance, from Thucydides. I did not approach the subject primarily in order to discover the truth, but to share with others what the story had meant for me'.4 He went on to describe how reviews of the book brought home the serious profes­ sional nature of the historian's task, and how, not long after, he began work for The Monastic Order by going through Domesday Book 'copying out every entry relating to a monastic house'. 1 A bye-product of the related paper 'The English Bishops 1070-1532' in Medieval Studies presented to Aubrey Gwynn, S.J., ed J.

'There was something very heartening in getting such a book in the summer of Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain'.5 Hitherto he had been known to a few historians; from now on his reputation grew rapidly wider. In 1944 he became a Fellow of Peterhouse; in 1947 he succeeded my father, Z. N. Brooke, as Professor of Medieval History at Cambridge, and he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy; in 1954 he was translated to the Regius Chair, from which he retired in 1963. He was much else besides: President of the Royal Historical Society (1956-60); honorary fellow of two colleges, honorary doctor of many universi­ ties, including his own. He did not see the Church's history as divorced from the general study of man's past. 'The life of Napoleon, the influence of Neoplaton- ism in the twelfth century, and the origins and business methods of a great brewery or soap-factory are all equally the materials of history', he wrote.6 But he went on: '. Nevertheless it is surely true that human understanding and sympathy and love have always been elements in the make-up of the greatest historians.' In his own mind and approach an intense involvement somehow combined with an objectivity almost Olympian. His judgements could be sharp; yet he was justly famed for his kindness and fairness. In 'Cardinal Gasquet as an Historian',7 he reconciled Coulton and Gasquet, a feat even he could hardly have accomplished in their lifetime, in a feast of wit which was wholly fair to both, yet hid the faults of neither. 'To­ wards the end of his life, indeed, Gasquet's capacity for carelessness amounted almost to genius ... He lacked that passion for absolute intellectual chastity, which ... in an historian is as much an occupa­ tional requirement as is absolute integrity in a judge'. 'In Gasquet's case the triumphal car had a good start, but Vengeance came limping after in the person of George Gordon Coulton'. Gasquet had his virtues as a man, and even as an historian; and they are enumerated without fear or favour. If he lives on in his friends and pupils as well as in his writings, then David Knowles will be seen to have made a major contribution to several branches of medieval history. But in this context, as a reminder of what he has meant to the history of the Church, let us dwell for a 6 Pantin in Tite Historian and Character, p xxiii. 8 'Academic History', p 231. 7 The Creighton Lecture for 1956, reprinted in The Historian and Character, chapter 11: the quotations are from pp 254, 261, 257-8.

In the spoken word he could convey, all the more because of his still, small voice and figure, the power of his intellectual and spiritual stature. So in his best books these are revealed in some of the finest prose dedicated to historical writing in this century. Much of his happiest writing is in the last volume of the series, and its combination of spiritual insight with wit, shrewdness of judgement and detachment helps us to understand the way in which he won homage and fealty from secular historians - and so helped secure the recognition of his historical interests as a valid and important part of history. But my own favourite will always be the first volume, for it changed my life. I well recall The Monastic Order sitting on my father's desk, and he - always inclined to severity in his first judgement on books - astonishing me by the warmth of enthusiasm which he showed only when really roused. Soon after, to my father's entertainment, I began to read it and to note misprints and minor errors - and there were such in all David Knowles' works, fine scholar though he was; but when I began to try my novice scalpel on one of my father's own works, he felt the time had come for more constructive tasks. So began the work of collaboration out of which (other things apart) eventually came The Heads of Religious Houses,8 and, long before (1942) my first meeting with David Knowles. When he began to work, literary and narrative history were going out of fashion among professional historians, and especially among medievalists, but he came to history from English literature, and first read and wrote history as literature. He had also been trained as a scholar, and had sat at the feet both of Abbot Cuthbert Butler and of Abbot Ramsay, whose work on the text of Cyprian he aided; he had met Edmund Bishop. Thus he came to The Monastic Order with a strong sense of the nature of critical scholarship and a love of narrative history; and he had chosen one of the few medieval fields in which the evidence supports and invites both ample narrative and analysis. He also brought a devotion to the subject which illuminates many of its pages. His final judgement was severe, for he quotes on the last page Christ's terrifying call to perfection, which he, following John Cassian and many others, expected a monk to answer. Yet the book is also infused with the warm charity and human understanding which fills so many of his writings, and which we knew in him. The 8 Ed Knowles, C. N. L. Brooke and Vera C. M.

  • Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England
    Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England by Christian D. Knudsen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto Copyright © by Christian D. Knudsen ABSTRACT Naughty Nuns and Promiscuous Monks: Monastic Sexual Misconduct in Late Medieval England Christian D. Knudsen Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto This dissertation examines monastic sexual misconduct in cloistered religious houses in the dioceses of Lincoln and Norwich between and . Traditionally, any study of English monasticism during the late Middle Ages entailed the chronicling of a slow decline and decay. Indeed, for nearly years, historiographical discourse surrounding the Dissolution of Monasteries (-) has emphasized its inevitability and presented late medieval monasticism as a lacklustre institution characterized by worsening standards, corruption and even sexual promiscuity. As a result, since the Dissolution, English monks and nuns have been constructed into naughty characters. My study, centred on the sources that led to this claim, episcopal visitation records, will demonstrate that it is an exaggeration due to the distortion in perspective allowed by the same sources, and a disregard for contextualisation and comparison between nuns and monks. In Chapter one, I discuss the development of the monastic ‘decline narrative’ in English historiography and how the theme of monastic lasciviousness came to be so strongly associated with it. Chapter two presents an overview of the historical background of late medieval English monasticism and my methodological approach to the sources. ii Abstract iii In Chapter three, I survey some of the broad characteristics of monastic sexual misconduct.

  • “A Benedictine Reader Is an Exciting Volume of Sources That Includes Key Texts from the Order’S Inception in 530 Through the Sixteenth Century
    “A Benedictine Reader is an exciting volume of sources that includes key texts from the Order’s inception in 530 through the sixteenth century. These ‘Benedictine Centuries’ demonstrate the rich and varied contributions that knit together the religious, political, social, and cultural fabric of European society throughout the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern period. Translated into fresh and readable English, each text contains a concise introduction that has an almost intuitive quality. This is a welcome addition to the field and is an excellent resource for both scholars and students alike.” —Alice Chapman Associate Professor of History Grand Valley State University “Perfectae Caritatis invited religious to enter into their original sources and primitive inspirations. A Benedictine Reader achieves this by creating a fascinating world of medieval monastic doctrine. This anthology opens up for any interested person ancient sources that fashioned monastic aggiornamento through the centuries. With quite remarkable scholarship, the wealth of footnotes in this volume introduces contemporary authorities promoting this renewal. Together these ancient monastics and contemporary scholars form a valuable treasure for a rebirth in monastic wisdom and insight.” —Thomas X. Davis, OCSO Abbot Emeritus, New Clairvaux Abbey “A Benedictine Reader brings together in a single volume the Venerable Bede, John of Fécamp, Abelard, Hildegard of Bingen, and other well-known figures of Western medieval monasticism. Also included are lesser known authors and works by anonymous voices. This virtual library of medieval Benedictine texts fills a gaping hole in monastic libraries and will be an excellent resource in monastic formation programs.” —Mark A.

  • CHRISTOPHER NUGENT LAWRENCE BROOKE Christopher Nugent Lawrence Brooke 1927–20151
    CHRISTOPHER NUGENT LAWRENCE BROOKE Christopher Nugent Lawrence Brooke 1927–20151 I: Introduction PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER BROOKE, who died on 27 December 2015 aged eighty-eight, was one of the most prolific and influential medievalhistorian s of the past seventy years. He held the title of professor for nearly sixty years, which may well be a record: he obtained his first Chair at the age of twenty-nine, at Liverpool, and later taught at Westfield College, London, and at Cambridge. The time-span of his publications was even longer, for he published his first article (jointly with his father) in 1944, and he remained active in scholarship to the end. At a time when the writing of medieval history has increasingly become dominated by ever more special- ised mono graphs, Christopher Brooke demonstrated the importance of reaching out to a wider audience by way of well-illustrated surveys and much-used textbooks, although he was also a master of exact scholarship, with an especial penchant for the editing of Latin texts. His very successful From Alfred to Henry III, published when he was thirty-two years old, had the great virtue of looking at England both before and after 1066.2 Europe in the Central Middle Ages displaced a standard account of the same period written by his own father; but it amply reflected a broadening in the study of the period beyond the popes and emperors who had dominated earlier 1 Parts I, II and V of this memoir were written by David Abulafia, Part III by Henry Mayr- Harting and Part IV by David Luscombe.

  • Richard Barrie Dobson: an Appreciation John Taylor
    Cambridge University Press 0521650607 - Pragmatic Utopias: Ideals and Communities, 1200-1630 Edited by Rosemary Horrox and Sarah Rees Jones Excerpt More information Richard Barrie Dobson: an appreciation John Taylor One of the chief characteristics of Barrie must surely be his attachment to the north of England. Born at Stockton-on-Tees in ,he spent his earliest years in South America,where his father worked for the Great Western Railway of Brazil. After Barrie returned to England before the outbreak of the Second World War,he went to school at Barnard Castle, at which time he came to know those parts of the north which have later claimed so much of his attention as a medieval scholar. Although he has lived for some time in the south,his recent return to the north underlines his strong commitment to that area. For this determined and intrepid hill walker the Lake District has always held a special attrac- tion. Walks where ‘Cambridge waters hurry by’ do not,one suspects,hold quite the same appeal as some well-remembered climbs on Helvellyn or Fairfield. Beati omnes qui ambulant. Happiest of all,Barrie would cer- tainly say,are those who go where the contour lines on the map lie closest together. Like those of other distinguished northern scholars,Barrie’s career led him eventually to the University of Cambridge,where in he was appointed Professor of Medieval History and elected a Fellow of Christ’s College. In retrospect his life appears to have been an almost inevitable progression to that point. After Barnard Castle School a period in the army followed,including service in Malaya during the Emergency.
